Abstract
Artistic Research (AR) is a practice of research that considers the production of the work of art as a core element, output, and an epistemic thing that may offer knowledge transfer. This communication gives an account of the Portuguese case, offering a selection of works that might be considered as epistemic objects while highlighting their potential for transferring knowledge to subsequent generations of artistic researchers. Since the third cycle implementation in Arts Higher Education Institutions (2009), academic repositories show more than eighty Ph.D. Theses with strong art practice components. Ph.D. thesis documents include features for the understanding of the work of art and process-oriented creative practices of the research carried. These offer iterations, emerging concepts, reconfigurations, unfolded instances, and meanings, potentially allowing further explorations to future researchers. Nevertheless, AR training still lacks resources, tools, and devices to create ways to care for this knowledge transfer. In this regard, the EMERGING project, funded by the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation (FCT) 022.06772.PTDC, seeks to understand features within the written document of a thesis as epistemic objects to draw a proposal of an academic artistic research collection (arC). The research offers a possible interpretation of the epistemic objects and a framework for the identification in such context. Examples are depicted and discussed regarding their potentiality as epistemic objects for AR training, namely as resources available to supervisors, PhD researchers, and other knowledge domain peers.
